And here's this tablet computer that he got from a company ten kilometres away from him. They went bankrupt and he got tons of stuff for scrap metal prices. It was designed for hospitals to display all kinds of, you know, stuff for doctors and patient information and stuff like that, perhaps. And as I said, it's got the rather strange looking pattern on the screen.

Check that out. Is that something to do with the touch screen? Really? Do we have serial number 11? Wow Let's crack it open. All right. let's open this puppy up and see what we've got.

Oh oh what a dog's breakfast! Look at the hot snot. Wow Look, is that a Is that a regular? Yeah. Yep. Yep.

it's a 78, 1, 5 volt ejaculator tacked onto the back. Well I wasn't wrong about this being like a R&D job. This is like hack together prototype. This is absolutely incredible.

Look at this. They've got a hand etched board down here for the power supply. That's awful. They've using off-the-shelf you know, embedded.

PC Of course. I didn't bother to roll that on their own. Is this the touchscreen like look? They've hacked in some for old? ok yet and they've been taped off. They've hacked in some batteries in there.

They're like the backup batteries. Olly Oh my goodness, this thing's awful. There's our main battery pack down here, but another couple of wires chopped off here. Wow.

this thing is hacked together. It is awful. Don't even know how they've made the case. What the hell is going on with that thing? But this was really hacked together? Well, I mean you know it doesn't look bad from the outside and they were, probably, you know, quite impressed with it the client if they didn't open the thing.

Jeez, But you know sometimes you've got a rush to get a a prototype made. But that's yeah, that's pretty bad. And check out this controller board they had that plugged into the USB. They didn't even bother like getting a USB to mini B cable.

They just like hacked it in there and soldered it on me that's awful and stuck it down with double-sided tape. Wow, this thing is beyond horrific. Oh my goodness. look at that.

look at that. Oh that wins the bodge of the weight bodge of the Year award. Perhaps so bad, but look at this. they've gone to the effort to make it double sided.

I Haven't got a clue about layout about solder in about construction? Oh my goodness. I Can't believe they delivered that to a client. Wow I mean yeah. sure enough, if you have to do a home edged board you know here niche board to you know to get the job done to meet the deadline for you know, a little lower prototype run or something.

this is serial number 11 so they're made at least 11 of these things. I mean you know sure. Ok home each board fine. This is done before you can get you know, Cheap and cheerful.

Wow and fast prototypes that you can these days and stuff like that. but oh I like that is just executed Oh horribly Wow Hmm Ever seen anything that bad in effectively what is a effectively a client deliverable? And they've added a thermal pad on the back there just to couple through to the heatsink on the single board computer board here, but it's all held in with like table. I Mean this thing was like like just sort of wasn't even hot, snot a little taped in. I mean but check out the budge pot On the side are four adjustment.

Hmm. so they're just like you budge the output of this power supply into there. I Mean they couldn't mean why go to the effort to do that? It's like standard voltage. What do you need? 12 volts and 5 volts or something for this single board computer by a bloody off-the-shelf power brick that does the business? Not this garbage.

Unbelievable. And check out these rechargeable batteries. Like they couldn't even bother to put it in a proper socket. Look, they're soldered directly onto the tabs of the battery.

Wow How bad is that? That is awful. Why would you do this? Like they couldn't have been in that much of a rush like they couldn't go down to their local well you know I'm not tricky big storage a car store like here in. Australia They couldn't even go down to the local electronics store and pick up a bloody battery holder leavel and it looks like they couldn't fit it in so they wedged another battery down here. Oh wow, and that's actually I Thought that was a separate pack.

It's not. It's an extension of this main pack down in here and I thought they'd done the same thing if they wrapped it in paper. I think they've just put the same cells and wrapped it in paper and sold it onto the ends. Well I thought at first glance that was some sort of, you know, off-the-shelf battery pack.

It's not. So Yep, they've seriously done that. Wow look Wow look unbelievable. They've bud soldered a pack together.

Oh that is the worst I Have ever seen. Wow Some company designed and built these in like at least 11 volume. Like at least maybe you know, like the dozens of volume. This is what they delivered.

Well, There you have it for those who want to see the budge soul during. Wow So that's inside the Ascend Amad info view and this is actually still a company that seemed to still be going to make all sorts of you know, whiz-bang medical type art. You know, displaying devices and things like this. but what the hell is this? I Mean can't believe any company at all would produce a deliverable like this.

And you know it's not uncommon to do what they've done here. They've like it looks like that. Maybe reuse this side case from something else cuz I Can't believe. I Mean you know it looks pretty good right from the outside and actually feels pretty good and everything else right? So it's not bad for like a you know, a low run prototype demo unit or you know, something like that.

So you know, using off-the-shelf case like this because if they custom-designed this case, there's no way they would have the resources to custom design this case and then end up with this sort of budged garbage like this, right? So obviously they've just, you know, hacked in some other product they've put in a commercial display. Of course they've put in a commercial touch screen controller of course, touch screen over the front. They've used of coarse and fine, perfectly fine, that single board industrial computer like this. Exactly what you'd expect and then they've gone and you know, shoved a battery pack and a power supply in there to make it all work and that's fine.

But look at how they implemented it. This battery pack makes you want to puke and this thing just makes you want to stab your eyes out with a soldering iron. Really? I Mean you cannot unsee that once you've seen it. Oh my goodness.

like just use and off-the-shelf power brick. This is ridiculous. So I don't know whether it's the company is C Nobody's actually done this or whether or not they just had like a subcontractor actually do these. They just farmed it out which is quite common.

That's probably the most likely scenario here. and they got stuck with this freaking turkey and serial number 11. I'm assuming they, you know produced a run of these because this is not like you would I wouldn't even do this as like a one-off rush prototype for a client. To you know if I was a sub, you know, a subcontract design I wouldn't do this as a one-off prototype.

You know, demonstrator. It's just embarrassing because surely they're going to open it. You just. you just do not do this.

Unbelievable. Wow Wow I Hope that person who did this or people I show I did surely not more than one engineer. One engineer is like just not even engineer. I don't know who it is Geez.

Mesa Dodgy brothers have put this together. but I hope they're not still in business I Can understand. Okay, it. Like if you don't have room in there, you've got up like the body in a pack.

but you don't do garbage like this and this. and just you know, hots. Not a time-honored technique. if you're only making a run of ten, maybe you can get away with it wind once you close it all in and you know it's stuff like that.

But even then you're going to be a bit more professional than that. This is like it's just beyond amateur hour. Unbelievable. He delivered this.

There's only one thing for this. Catch you next time you.
